Zangyack and cyclones and crabs, oh my! Tonight has marked a flurry of activity as Tamashii Web is updating with the latest exclusives in their various lines in June. Prime among them is the long-anticipated and hinted S.H. MonsterArts “accessory” set intended to complete the upcoming Destoroyah release, from Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995). As reported last week, a leaked scan from Figure-Oh magazine with the name, price, and release month was quickly followed by newer scans earlier today and finally leading to the official Bandai announcement, product listing on Tamashii Webshop, and even confirmation from Bluefin that the set would be coming to the US!
The Destoroyah Evolution Set unfortunately includes no known effect parts, but still accessorizes well with the Destoroyah Final Form coming to Japan in February, expected in the US in March. The set includes three different stages in the growth of the Precambrian crustacean – a less-developed Crab, the infamous Aggregate Form which fought Godzilla Junior in the film, and the rarely-produced-in-plastic Flying Form which preceded the monstrous final form. All three figures are appropriated scaled to their final form as well as prior releases Burning Godzilla and Godzilla Junior and will be available in June at a cost of 8400 yen according to both the earlier scans and the Tamashii Web listing. Bluefin will be releasing the Destoroyah Evolution Set in North America as announced mere minutes ago on their Facebook page with pricing and date to be determined.

Tamashii Nations USA just announced on Facebook this is officially coming stateside! Wooo!
Can't wait to pick this up at some point.
Good to hear Bluefin are distributing it.
The set looks great - I can't see me ever really picking it up, but if I suddenly dived into MonsterArts I'd be all over this.
*insert manly crying picture here*
I think it is very funny they are focusing on the Hesai era films over the Showa or Millenium. We have the full casts from the final 3 Hesai films.
Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla -- Goji, MG, Fire Rodan, Garuda.
Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla -- Goji, Spacegoji, MOGUERA, Little G.
Godzilla vs Destoroyah -- Burning Goji, Junior, all three forms of Destoroyah.
Considering the general malaise which a lot of fans seem to have for the Hesai films (especially MG and SG), this trend seems very strange to me.
That having been said this set looks like THE MOST, even if I prefer Spacegoji to Destoroyah in terms of the era.
EDIT: It would never be in scale, but I would mark out if this came with a little Oxygen Destroyer.
EDIT EDIT: If this Hesai trend continues and we get a Biollante... aw man, that'd be sweet.
Im not a massive follower of The monster arts (although the more I see the more I want to get into it) but I'm 95% sure that Biollante has been confirmed, or at least shown somewhere...
EDIT: Yeah she has, Link
Oh hell yeah, DESTOROYAH!
EDIT: Yeah she has, Link
That's awesome.
I know I said I'd hold off on Monster Arts until MechaGodzilla 1 or Kiryu, but this is freaking sweet.
